Site glitches!
(Posted Thursday August 4, 2011)
Apologies to those having problems navigating this site of late. I’ve been updating the very ancient software that the site runs on, and this has led to a number of glitches that I hope to deal with in the near future. Until then, things may not work exactly as they should. I’m hoping to have the various problems sorted out by the end of August 2011. Thanks for your patience!

Back in Action
(Posted Tuesday January 20, 2009)
Apologies for the fact that this site has not been working for a few weeks. There were gremlins on the server, but you’ll be glad to know they have now all been evicted, and things are back on track. I’ve also taken the opportunity to make a few tweaks to the website, to update the software that runs it, and to do a bit of tidying up.
Best wishes,
Will

My first novel, Cargo Fever, is set in the imaginary Moluccan island of Kenukecil, and is dedicated to my friends in Indonesia. The book is published Tindal Street Press.
The novel has attracted some excellent reviews with publishing News describing the book as “A lively and exotic adventure novel, thronging with picaresque characters, raucous magic and unfamiliar customs”. Click on the cover to the left to find out more on amazon.co.uk.
